Stinger X

Wasn't sure where to ask this on the Discus so figured I'd put it here. Hydran X ships can carry the Stinger X i.e. fusions, gat and ph-2. Is there a reason why there isn't a Stinger XH i.e. one that carries a helbore? We've been playing regular Hydrans lately and are considering trying out the X version of some ships and the question came up.

Thank you.

Stinger-X has 1 phaser 2, one phaser-g, two fusions, and 12 damage points. But with no X-ships in FC, why does it matter?

There is a stinger-H but we decided NOT to port it over to FC. We'd have to port a bunch of other stuff too and it's a journey best not begun because THIS WAY LIES MADNESS. There is no Stinger-XH.

???

I wasn't talking about FC. I was talking about SFB. I was simply curious why SFB Hydran X ships have the Stinger X with fusions but didn't advance the use of the Stinger H. Now to be clear, I only have Module X1 so perhaps there is an advanced Stinger X in Module X1R?

Nope, there is no Stinger-XH and there are no plans to launch one.

That's too bad, would have been interesting.

Lots of things that are bad for things are interesting.

Would it have unbalanced the Hydran X ships that used it? In non-X Hydran ships the Stinger-H was used pretty sparingly so I would suspect it would have been the same in any X ship Stinger-H.
